Will update with anymore reviews

Yes I am joking.

Is Britain not sovereign?

Do we have the same legal system as Denmark?

If King, Queen, Prince, Princess is not a bloodline then we can elect/place/put whomever into the role.

Think it through.

It would abolish the monarchy without abolishing the monarchy.

I suspect that our royals have sense enough to know that.

Otherwise, with the levels of antipathy against PH going around, I am sure they would have done it already.

She obviously missed the bit in her cookery course about hygiene. With dangling hair in the food. This has been commented on.

No.

The point is the Daily Mail is the Donald Trump of newspapers, causing consternation and bullying whomever they set their sights on.

It is a nasty and dangerous institution.

Slotting PH and MM into their coverage is a click generator and a bone to many.

I don't need to "ponder" anything she said or didn't say about Meta or anything else for that matter.

All I see is two people having the courage to walk away from one of the most powerful and wealthy institutions in the UK.

I personally see that as courage.

I also see it as no longer nursing at the teet of state funded excess.

Well done them say I. 😁

Nigella had hair everywhere, as did the Hairy Bijers (though we did see them with it covered when showcasing small producers from their commercial kitchens. Also the Two Fat Ladies kept on their rings with stones, even when using their hands to mix.

All those were very successful shows and, I think, those successes show that you do not have to have commercial hygiene standards in a ‘you can do this at home’ show.

(Though I am glad that many shows now have the chef washing their hands after handling raw meat, even if all that is broadcast is perfunctory)

Do we have the same legal system as Denmark?

Obviously not, but as in all monarchies, royal titles and styles are in the gift of the Sovereign.

He/she can bestow or remove them at the stroke of a pen.

If King, Queen, Prince, Princess is not a bloodline then we can elect/place/put whomever into the role.
Think it through.

I don't need to 'think it through', thanks.

If you read my post, you'll have seen that I don't consider it at all likely that Harry's title will be removed. It's theoretically possible but extremely improbable.

However, I was responding to the poster who said 'once a Prince, always a Prince'. That is not actually true. Royal titles are a privilege granted by the Monarch, who can revoke them at any time and for any reason.

They are not wrong though.

Look at the EU case against Meta and its impact, on young girls especially.

Zuckerburg has been in and out of Mar a Lago since Trump won.

The only one to benefit from this will be Trump.

Not only - but I wonder if the threatened tariffs against the Eu will include a demand to drop the case against Instagram?

Eh?

So she’ll quit Instagram right? That’s owned by META 😂

But why should he not use his title?

He was born into it and it is his by birthright.

He is, in fact, a Prince.

If you criticize your family or have a falling out does that mean you cannot use your family name, or miss or missus or any of the number of expressions used to identify someone?

If a doctor retires can he no longer use "doctor"?

If a wife divorces her husband can she no longer use his name even if the kids have it?

I don't think that stands up as an argument.

He was born into it and it is his by birthright.

It's not a 'birthright.'

His princely title is a privilege which can be revoked at the monarch's whim, as mentioned above.

His peerage title was only granted him on his wedding day.

If a doctor retires can he no longer use "doctor"?

I would say that a doctor, retired or not, who goes around insisting that people call him 'doctor' outside of a professional context, comes across as a pretentious prat.

If you criticize your family or have a falling out does that mean you cannot use your family name, or miss or missus or any of the number of expressions used to identify someone?

So why doesn't he go by plain Harry Mountbatten Windsor?

Justine Bateman was a child star and is the sister to a very well respected A+ list filmmaker, her brother, Jason Bateman.

Justine Bateman is very pleased that Trump has been elected so that the oppression of "woke" can stop.

For Justine Bateman, a president elect, who calls the Governor of California Scum is a good thing.

We Americans don't like her - you will find it very difficult to persuade me that you speak for 350 million people. If you do, I ask you sincerely; what the hell are you doing on Mumsnet, slagging off MM?

Get out and do something worth while with all that representation.

Surely Netflix are her employers, not her "partners"??

I genuinely can't follow that.

This just shows what a bubble their LA life is.

This just shows how wrong your basic facts are.

They do not live in Los Angeles.

They live two hours away.

Would you say that someone who lives in Cheltenham is from London?

The anti free speech movement railing against the removal of censorship is the sound of confused elites who don't yet understand they've lost control.
The only "free speech" that Musk, Zuckerburg and the like want is freedom for them to say what they want - like the Hatians eating cats and dogs.

You would be an utter fool to think that this is a good thing.

Or maybe not - maybe you prefer being able to say, with the confidence of not being fact checked, that two people live in LA when they don't.

Define "free speech"?

So Meghans quitting Instagram, the platform owned by META?

The only "free speech" that Musk, Zuckerburg and the like want is freedom for them to say what they want - like the Hatians eating cats and dogs.

You would be an utter fool to think that this is a good thing.

Has Meghan deleted her Instagram account yet?

Another wee reminder that they didn’t willingly walk away . They flounced off and thought the RF would miss them .
They didn’t have courage ; they overestimated their importance and underestimated the late Queen .

Seriously, define free speech?

Look up what Facebooks "free speech" did to the Rohingya...

Human Rights. Org has some free speech, fact checked information...

I find your posts incredibly difficult to follow.

That's not a definition.

Didn't Harry say the 1st Amendment was 'bonkers'? Is this the person now extolling the virtues of 'free speech'?

Oh and once again, has Meghan deleted her META account yet?

Yup, Harry did say that on the Dax Shepard podcast

No problem.

How was "that man... dying forever"???? He lived to be nearly 100. What has the colour of her skin got to do with anything? Totally irrelevant.

The media wasn't doing anything to her that it hadn't already done to other members of the family. They deal with it by ignoring it, a tactic that has worked very successfully for them against the onslaught of abuse from these two grifters. Actually William did speak out at one point.

ONE DICKHEAD compared her child to a chimpanzee!!! Fuck all to do with anyone else.

As for the "ban on information when Kate was ill" - were they able to stop all the numpties online making up all sorts of rumours and lies? No. And quite honestly I don't see that there was a lot of "suffering" either.
